My front rotors are pretty scored and rooted in my new car (good ol' japanese).. Don't think it would pass a roadworthy and compliance which I am still doing. Its a 1989 R32 GTS-T

So I may as well get some good DBA slotted ones for the track and other fun.

Now it looks as if I have the pov-pack 2pot brakes (no "nissan" printed on them) as I don't think mine is the "m spec". Will this mean I can use the same rotors as any other R32?

From the DBA part database, it lists DBA4909 for R32 fronts - also listed is DBA4963 for R33 which is thicker and larger diameter...

I read a few posts which tend to indicate that the rotor sizes are interchangeable, its just the calipers that can be changed. So why are there two part numbers in the catalogue for R32 + R33 ??

Eventually I will have to upgrade to the R32 4pot or R33 calipers, so I am wondering should I go for the R32 rotors now, or would I be best off going for the R33 rotors for the larger diameter / thickness for better heat distribution??

Yeah, i want the slotted which is the "4000" part of it.. $180 a piece I have found a place that can do them for.

4909 it is.. Just was wondering as because i have the 2 pot brakes whether there would be any difference in the actual rotors. The listing says 1989-1993 so I assume that includes the 2pot brakes as well.

Thanks guys..

No, nothing to do with it. If you look at the cattledog again, you'll see that the model is 909, available in "slotted", "x-drilled" and "4000".

I got some about 3 years ago, plain 909s, slotted.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
